Dorian Vale has spent sixteen years at the top. At thirty-four, he controls the largest criminal empire in the country and is known as the youngest boss in history. Then there’s Nyxara—a faceless woman behind black lace, ruling an empire powerful enough to rival his own. They’ve never been allies. Never been enemies. And until now, they’ve never met. When someone begins attacking both organizations and leaving evidence designed to start a war, Nyxara does something almost unheard of: she comes to Dorian herself. Instead of destroying each other, they form an alliance—two independent empires, two equal rulers, and one combined force their enemies never anticipated. Dorian’s fascination with Nyxara begins before he ever sees the face beneath her veil. Her intelligence. Her danger. The absolute devotion of her people. The way she stands beside him without ever standing beneath him. Professional respect becomes curiosity, attraction becomes yearning, and the man who has spent his entire life bowing to no one begins wanting something he never thought himself capable of giving: devotion. Neither of them believes in gods. Dorian certainly doesn’t believe anyone belongs above him. But Nyxara was never meant to be his weakness—and somewhere between blood, secrets, power, and falling dangerously in love, he realizes there is one woman he would willingly kneel for. Because there may be no God above them, but to Dorian Vale, there is nothing above her.
